UP: Local Catholics. Do-gooders at Our Lady Queen of Peace raise enough money to continue a charitable function their diocese tried to eliminate. The Catholic Multicultural Center on Madison's south side will reopen Aug. 3, two months after Bishop Robert Morlino abruptly shut it down in response to lagging contributions.
DOWN: Downtown venues. A few days after Café Montmartre closes its doors, the venerable Cardinal Bar announces plans to do the same. Cardinal manager Corey Rogers blames city policies including the smoking ban and calls the economic downturn "the nail in the coffin." But don't be surprised if the Cardinal comes back from the dead.
